WHOEVER COACHES THE GRIZZLIES IS AN IDIOT

I don't know who coaches the Grizzlies and I will not do them the justice of looking their name up.

Mike Conley Jr. is an excellent player who by all rights should be in his sophomore year in college.  HOWEVER, he stands 6 feet tall with extra foam in his shoes and is, and always will be, a defensive liability. 

Enter the Phoenix Suns, the masters of the high-pick and roll.  So this seems simple if you're Memphis and have a small guard in Conley who by all means should be able to keep Steve Nash in front of him as good as anyone.  Certainly you wouldn't want to switch those screens and leave Conley defending guys like Grant Hill and Boris Diaw on the post.  If you did that you'd be forced to double-team leaving Phoenix's 3 point shooting arsenal ready to pick your teeth clean. 

Of course you'd fight through those screens because in theory that would be playing to Conley's only strength as a defender, on-ball defense.

The friggin idiot had Conley switch 6 consecutive times when even the home-town announcers were berating his idiocy.  6 switches, 6 double-teams, 6 baskets.

Idiot.
